At Vultra Visions, we recognize the critical importance of optimizing our product development and operational processes to maximize efficiency and adaptability. Our goal is to simplify these processes, making them more "lean" to reduce costs and enhance responsiveness to customer feedback. To achieve this, we are launching a comprehensive project aimed at evaluating our operations, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing targeted solutions.

Project Objectives:

1. Mapping Operational Processes:

• Utilize Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) to visually map out our current operational processes.
• Evaluate each step and the resources it consumes to identify areas of inefficiency.

1. Identifying Bottlenecks:

• Analyze the mapped processes to pinpoint bottlenecks and areas where delays or inefficiencies occur.

1. Researching Solutions:

• Conduct thorough research to identify potential solutions to the unique problems identified during the mapping process.
• Explore best practices and innovative approaches to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

1. Proposal Development:

• Develop a comprehensive proposal outlining recommendations for improvements based on the identified issues.
• Include an implementation plan detailing how each solution will be incorporated into our operational processes.

1. Implementing Solutions:

• Execute the proposed improvements in a phased approach, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
• Collaborate with relevant stakeholders to facilitate smooth implementation and adoption of the proposed changes.

1. Creating Revised BPMN Model:

• Develop a second BPMN model of our operational processes, incorporating the proposed solutions.
• Ensure that the revised model reflects the optimized and streamlined nature of the updated processes.

Expected Outcomes:

• Increased efficiency and productivity in product development and operational activities.
• Reduced costs associated with time-consuming or redundant processes.
• Enhanced adaptability to customer feedback, allowing for quicker iterations and improvements.
• Improved overall performance and competitiveness in the market.

By embarking on this initiative, we aim to elevate Vultra Visions to new heights of operational excellence, positioning us as a leader in our industry and driving sustainable growth and success for years to come.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities (this is basically a retelling of the steps above):

• Mapped our operational processes using BPMN and evaluated the resources spent on each step.
• Identified bottlenecks in our operational processes.
• Researched sustainable solutions to each bottleneck .
• Created a proposal with sustainable recommendations for improvement to each bottleneck and an implementation plan for rollout.

Bonus steps would include:

• Included an updated BPMN model with solutions implemented.

Final deliverables should include

• A proposal for sustainable strategies we can use to make our company more lean.
• A 30-minute presentation describing the research, reasoning, and suggested implementation for each strategy.

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Are there any bottlenecks we are currently aware of?
• Which aspects of our operational processes work well for us? Which do we want to change?
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter..
